Days after losing his primary, Cassidy voted against Trump anyway
Bill Cassidy spent five years paying the price for voting to convict Donald Trump at his impeachment trial. On Saturday, Republican voters in Louisiana ended his Senate career in one of the most decisive primary defeats of this cycle. His opponent's only distinguishing qualification was a Trump endorsement. Four days later, Cassidy walked onto the Senate floor and voted against Trump's war powers — helping advance a resolution that had failed seven times before. The party made its verdict clear on Saturday. Cassidy made his on Tuesday.
